The only prep I've done in the last 24 hours was to obsess about Tony's emergency appendectomy. Was he in good hands? Yes Was Jordyn there every step of the way? Yes. Did she do an excellent job of supporting him and communicating with us? Yes Was I still
a nut case concerned? Yes. I attribute this to the microchip that is implanted in all women when they become mothers. You know the one I'm talking about. It's the one programmed to fill us with guilt and neurosis (in equal parts) from the time we give birth to our first child and that will continue to operate flawlessly until the day we die.
Crisis over - thank God!
Now I'm ready to start thinking about what to pack. So far I've come up with the following list of critical items (in order of importance):
- Two cases of beer
- 5 liters of wine
- Beer opener
- Cork screw (in the event we go up scale from the old twist top bottles)
- Valium
- Snacks (enough said about this in the last post about this)
- Paper and pencil for drawing and doodling
- Ipad
- Iphone
- Ipod (clearly Apple will play a prominent role in this vacation)
- Kindle
- Multiple "charging" devices
- My "trip plan" data sheet
Non-critical (but nice to have) items:
- Clothes
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Various shoes
- Wedding gifts
I'm clearly nailing this part of the prep.
